Having been part of the fashion world for more than 30 years, Isaac Mizrahi is known for a host of creative contributions (including partnerships with Macy’s and QVC), not to mention his colorful personality. Even so, his latest partnership this month with Band-Aids might come as a surprise to many. “These were inspired by my past and present collections,” he says. Some of the designs he created include watercolors, hearts, stripes, camouflage, and roses, although Mizrahi’s favorite is the pink and white gingham. “I hope people love it. What's not to love?” he added. “It becomes an accessory where you least expect it.”

A busy man, Mizrahi just finished taping the fourth season of Project Runway All Stars, which airs in October, and recently launched his e-commerce site, IsaacMizrahi.com. We chatted with the fashion icon about his favorite destinations and the stranger he’d like to be stuck next to on a flight.

Over the span of your career, what are you most proud of creating?

One of my favorite things is a ball gown skirt with a white T-shirt. It’s a way of glamorizing something ordinary.

What fashion or beauty items do you think people constantly wear incorrectly?

Lip liner. It never looks right and it can age a woman.

What's the most interesting or exotic material to work with that you've found while traveling, and where did you find it?

I made dresses from recycled cans for one collection. They were sent to Paris to be made into paillettes and then sent to India to be sewn onto the dresses.

What airline has the worst uniforms?

I'm not a big fan of uniforms in general.

What are three items you must travel with?

My black cashmere scarf (I call it my Blankie), The New York Times crossword puzzle, and an iPad with the latest episodes of Episodes on Showtime.

If you were stuck on the tarmac for an undetermined amount of time, who would you want sitting next to you?

I am a devoted Yankees fan. I would like to have Derek Jeter on my left and Stephen Colbert on my right.

Where's the worst place you've ever traveled to and why?

Budapest. I was so excited to go somewhere in Eastern Europe and it was bleak and depressing.
